A method for semi-field rearing of Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) to obtain mites of controlled age and specific life cycle
(Les Amis d'Acarologia, 2023-03)Varroa destructor is one of the most devastating ectoparasites of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, worldwide. Given that V. destructor has very low survivability and exhibits no successful reproduction away from their natural ... -
Age‑performance and intensity of grooming behavior toward Varroa destructor in resistant and susceptible Apis mellifera colonies
(Springer, 2022-10)Grooming behavior confers resistance to honey bees against Varroa destructor, being of interest to social immunity studies and breeding programs. The objective of this study was to characterize at the individual level the ... -
Bacterially expressed dsRNA induces Varroa destructor gene knockdown by honey bee-mediated oral administration
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor causes serious losses of Apis mellifera colonies and negatively impacts the beekeeping industry around the world. New control methods have been proposed based on the RNA interference ... -
Embryogenesis and apoptosis appears as key molecular pathways involved in Varroa destructor reproduction
(Springer, 2023-10)In this study, we identified candidate genes associated with the reproductive success of Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera brood cells at a key point in time, the 4th day after host cell capping. First-life cycle reproducing ... -
Genetic variation and heteroplasmy of Varroa destructor inferred from ND4 mtDNA sequences
(Springer, 2020-02)Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is a serious threat to colonies and beekeeping worldwide. Population genetics studies of the mite have provided information on two mitochondrial ...
